Alex and his buddies jumped in the boat and they just wanted to fish for anything in saltwater as they are from Minnesota and hadn't fished in salt water. Bad news was there was no live bait in any bait shop in Homestead as we had terrible weather for a couple of days before hand preventing the shrimpers from going out. Hmmm, ok no problem. With some frozen mullet we target sharks where the guys got a couple and lost a few and then it happened. Under glass calm conditions and a great tide the bonefish started to tail and mud right next to the boat. I couldn't resist so I rigged up a new penny colored Z Mann shrimp on a split shot weight and made a cast, twitch, twitch, bump, bump. The bonefish hit it and missed. Dang it. I made another cast and repeated the process but this time I got a solid hit and handed the rod off to the closest guy next to me. A few minutes later they had their first bonefish. Nice!!!!! We wrapped it up on a shallow ship wrecked where they hooked a 30lb barracuda but lost it to a pulled hook.
